carlylight1 Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 hi niggly, i'm sure you're not disgusting.i've never been diagnosed with it. but then i suppose i haven't always completely opened up to doctors. whenever i've read about it i recognise a lot of the symptoms in myself. take care, hope you're getting good support.xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlylight1 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 have u read up on it? think one of the main things is 'does the way you look stop you from living as you otherwise would?'. putting make up on for hours, looking in the mirror a lot and other things. i think the therapy u can get for it is meant to be very effective. take care xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butterflygirl Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Hi niggyy, Just seen this thread, think it was from a while ago. Yes I have bdd. It my main problem I live with. I havnt spoken about it before on here and i havnt seen a lot of people talking about it either. I don't have a lot of words of wisdom about it but if u need someone 2 chat 2 it's likely I will b able 2 identify with u. Hope ur doing ok.

lauraw2693 Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 I've never been diagnosed with it, although it was mentioned by my old psychotherapist several times.. I'm not sure if my symptoms are considered part of the unstable self-image of BPD now though.. Again, not a lot of advice but happy to talk about it if you'd like to pm me xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotty Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 hi i have it, it sucks, ive had it since i was about 10, im 33 now.I hardly go out, im pretty much stuck in my bloody house twenty four seven , im obsessive about my face, i spend hours in front of the mirror in a distressed mess, i get in to repeatative behaviour...i put on cream, take it off , put on cream take it off ...repeat. i make my face sore all the time, Ive punched my self and gave myself two lovely black eyes because i hate what i see so much. I have no friends because of the isolation. im constantly trying to 'fix' my self. Ive had incredable urges to cut my face, to take what i hate away. Im on anti psychotics (s/p?) and anti depressants. they have helped a bit but not with the compusive stuff. its a constant struggle. i hate it. nobody really knows about it as i dont think anybody would understand. its stolen my life. im getting help for it but i think its going to be a long journey.

x_snm Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 I have it , and it's real trust me. we did this thing where i drew myself on the wall as to what i was through my eyes, then she traced me inside of me and i was much smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
